How to start a Go project in 2023
The article mentions GOW[0] for a file watcher. If anyone is looking for a non-go specific one, I've really enjoyed reflex[1]. Makes it super easy to reload different parts of a project based on what type of file has changed.

wgo: a live reload tool for Go
wgo is simpler, simply prepend 'w' to any go run command to make it wgo run and now it does the same thing as go run but it also reloads the program whenever a Go file changes. Also takes in the same build flags as go run. Very intuitive to use.
